Just back from a full service and many many repairs my Smiths Deluxe 15 jewel ( Everest watch before they put that name on them ). I am guessing my watch maker cursed the day I brought it to him for repair and service, he had it since March and it's repair must have been a challenge but thankfully I am such a frequent customer ( a couple of watches most weeks ) he repaired and serviced it as an act of good faith for my extensive patronage.
Some designs have become so iconic, they stand the test of time - 1970’s DOXA Sub 300 T “Searambler” Diver - Cal. 2783 from the Synchron era on original Doxa branded BoR Expandro bracelet.
